Church of La Paz, Leyte


This is what I saw after circling around to the back of the La Paz Municipal Hall compound. The "Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Parish", the town's Catholic Church. I think this wide field the manong is cleaning up, is also part of the church compound.

So we circled around that field for a closer look. Here it is. Chadaaaan...

Pupusta ako, in the areas of Burauen and La Paz, a blue-color paint must be expensive! If at all available hehe! It must be veeery in-demand a paint color! Their churches need it!

Anyway, I entered the church, it was noontime, so, no people around...

I like this! Simple, serene, bright, airy-cool, due to the big doors and windows I suppose. And the inside hues are pale and cool, unlike that of Burauen. Oh well, an ludhanan...

And, as I usually take a snap of... this is the priest's view...

Note: it's not really this dark. It's just my phone-camera, since outside is so noon bright.

Oh, okay, outside the church, at its expansive front yard park, I saw this...
Of course, from a distance, I could already discern that that is a statue of Mama Mary. But I did wonder why this field is so overgrown with grass. Very uncommon in this country. Oh well, wala nang volunteers in the parish I suppose. Just like at elementary schools!

Anyway..,

Let's go out of La Paz and head onwards to Mayorga and General MacArthur next.
